@Sephira there is the difference in shooting European and American movie. The first video shows the the development of the idea in creating the movie after the series of video games during several years because Mr Baginski as also an illustrator and animator so that there were discussions whether the film should be made with CGI characters or real actors. This reminds me of The Lord of the Rings where the first attempt of transferring book into the other media was making the animated version. In the second video there is the conversation about the money where the main point is that without the great investments there can not be great movie while in Europe the quality of the movie is not defined by the amount of money but there is a focus on other qualities.

It's a pity he chose American publishers for that. Those are plagued by DRM. Is anyone in Europe releasing DRM-free?
What Russians can do with $20 million:

They certainly have some Skellige blood in their veins
And also this. Sergei Bodrov created some terrific movies in the past, having just a few million bucks in his pockets.

Woah. Obviously fake wigs are obviously fake.
Besides that, though, it looks freaking awesome. It's too bad I have no idea what's going on.
Love Genghis, but haven't seen this movie yet... time to fix that!
If we're thinking about the same movie (The one that won a crud-tun of awards.), then it's an absolute must-see.
By the way, is that Haakland, in the picture (I feel like I've seen that picture a number of times on these forums.)?

Not exclusively a Russian thing. Star Wars (1977) had a budget of $11 million (today that would be around $40 million) and still became one of the greatest brands in the world. Money should not be an issue.
What remains to be seen though is how Geralt will measure up to Obi Wan

Based on your profile picture, I'm guessing that you're NOT a fan of Star Wars, right?
Horrid, horrid thing Star Wars. Quite disturbing honestly.
Geralt seems to be a huge fan though. He tries to copy my Force push and Jedi mind trick fairly frequently, but he’s still a padawan. What would a lowly witcher know of the Force anyway. We’ll see how he fares in the movies, maybe special effects will help him a bit
I am so looking foreward to this. I hope it wont follow the roots of the previous series tough!
Done with pretending seventh son of the seventh son is about witchers!

Just've watched Bodrov's Mongol. Masterpiece
#TeamHakland
I doubt your allegiance to #TeamHaakland when you don't even spell our beloved nation's name correctly!
Jokes aside, though? Yeah...that movie was incredible. Even more so, when you consider the fact that he paid for that movie in peanuts.
I spell it correctly! It is you, who have so poor translations into your native languages that even names of countries are misspelled

That makes me wonder what else is misspelled, in the English-language translations.
The novels are still better translated than the games however. All those Tancarville -> Tansarville (wtf), Iorweth -> Iorveth, ekimma -> ekimmara...
Forget about the books/games and the substandard English translation. Just give me Nenneke in the movies and I shall be at peace.
